He learned a split finger fast ball that has been effective. Another thing St. Louis does and has done since the ownership took over in the mid-90's is putting their pitchers in positions to where they can be successful. The Marlins used him completely wrong.

You keep pitching like this, you'll win a lot more than lose. That's why I'm trying to stay patient. This beats the alternative.

And it would be 10 wins if not for us lighting up the STL bullpen for 11 runs in our first visit there this year. I'm not sure we've scored a run against their pen since, even though everyone else seems to be scoring at will against them.
